A sIaNIFIoAyT, RESULT.


There was an important election in
the city of Baltimore Wednesday. The
Republicans have had the assistance of
some disaffe, ted Democrats and have
been making vainglorious boasts of
how they IN ended to utterly rOut and
overthrow tie Democrats in Baltimore
and make Il e State doubtful in the
Presidential ontest next year,
Wen, they did their worst. They
made desperate fight and the result is
that the Democrats carry the city by
about 5000 II ajority, only very little
less than the customary Democratic
majority there,
1t appears, therefore, that the Repub-
licans were whooping before they were
out of the woods. They have not, with
all their efforts and with all the assist
ance they could get from Democratic
soreheads, reduced the Democratic
majority in Baltimore materially or
weakened the party for the contest
next year. And with this result fades
the Republican hope of putting Mary
land on the list of doubtful states in
the Presidential contest.
Very likely when the returns of the
Ohio election are in there will appear
about the SANE margin between Repub-
lican promises and Republican perform
ance that apl ears in the result of the
Baltimore election.

We acknowledge the receipt from
Superintendent Lehman of the annual
report of the Canton Public Schools,
containing the dedicatory eXerc s5s Of
tho new Central School Building on the
9Th of last April.
Besides the d9dicatOry exercises, the
statistics given of the schools of Can
ton in the past are full and interesting,
indeed valuable to Old citizens Of Can

our schools.
An error occurs on page As as to the
class of 1857. 1t mentions Emma Nc
GregOr, Mrs. j. V. Lawler, Carrollton,
as a teacher, when Mrs. Lawler never
taught. Mrs. J. w. Jenkins, of Kansas
City, the aunt of Mrs. Lawler, and Of
the same name did teach in our schools
in 1855 and 1856, being an assistant in
the Grammar school.
On page 58, Helen McGregor is
named as a teacher This should be
Caroline McGregor, Mrs. Lanphear,
Appleton, Wisconsin, who was a
teacher in 1862 and 1853.

New YORK, Oct. 3l-In an interview
with World reporter last night Mr.. Jay
Gould said there was an arrangements be-
tween the Western Union and the postal
companies for twenty five cent rate be-
tween the exchanges in different cities, as
for instance between tho produce exchange
here and tho board Of trade in Chicago.
Outside Of this exchange business the oppO-
siton company will charge five con5s less
than tho Western Union to important
points The Western Union rata to chi
cago will be forty cents, and tha a'other thir-
ty-fve cents. This is q reduction OF ton
cents for-the WsSEern unon, 1t does not
go as low rs it its competitor because it does
not feel that it can do business prodJably at

possibly to soma very distant points, aal on

BRADsTREET'ssays: "The per capita
consumption Of wheat in the United
Kingdom, Great Britrin and Ireland is
yariously estimated at from 5.57 to
SOS bushels, including in the higher
estimate that consumed for live stock
feeding and for various manufactures,
like sizing, etc. MI. William E. Bear,
our London correspondent, after giving
lin a letter printed on another page)
several estimates of consumption by
Sir J. b. Lawes, the London Economist,
Mr.. Harris and others, concludes that a
safe per capita consumption for com
mercial purposes is 81 bushels for the
United Kingdom. He places the popu-
lation, June Both, 1887, at 37,500OO0,
which at 81 bushels consumption
would give an aggregate consumption
of 2O6,25OOO0 bushels of wheat. The
home crop of 1887 for food is 100000
bushels, making required imports of
foreign wheat and -four equal to
142, ,250O0O bushels of wheat from Sep
tember 1st, 1887, to August 31st, 1888,
1t may, however, be observed that with
a deficient potato crop and deficient
oat crop it is possible that there may
be a larger consumptive demand for
bread than with both oats and potatoes
plentiful and cheap, The prospective
deficiency in the supply of potatoes in
1888 has caused the prices in London
to advance about 40 per cent as com
pared with September, 1886, prices.

The Tuscarawas Advocate says: Will
Reidenbaugh, a young man about "a
years of age, met with a painful acci-
dent at the Massillon City Coal Mines
last Thursday afternoon. He is a mule
driver, and was coming out of the bank
with loaded coal cars. BY some acci-
dent the door at the opening of the
bank was closed, and the mule discov-
ering this, stopped suddenly, and Mr..
Reidenbaugh was thrown off and fell
under the car. His right shoulder blade
was cracked, the mussels Of one of his
legs were badly lacerated, and he was
bruised and cut from head to foot. Had
the car gone two inches further, his
head would likely have been cut off"

If fthey really then believed what they

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct 3l.-Gen. Henry r.
Jackson explains his famous speech OF

government, is the great basis of liberty.
He therefore said chat history would recog-
uize Jefferson Davis and not Abraham Lin
colin as the typical American, because the
former represented tho principle of local
self-government while the latter stood for
centralized power. Gen. Jackson disclaimed
any idea of disloyalty.
